Within 4 years after launch, Wine by Design has become the “Go To” agency, servicing major sports leagues, teams, stadiums and celebrities.

We are an innovative team, integrating proven lifestyle marketing practices into the emerging wine landscape. Wine is complicated. It requires a specialized skill set, and deep understanding of the intricacies and legalities of a changing landscape. Our team is results driven, with a focus on detail. With offices in Napa and New York, and experience in sports, entertainment, client management, product development, and design, we are the leader in a field that requires an established network and insider access. WBD is for companies seeking a creative and turnkey solution to a very complex category.

Driving innovation across Lifestyle segments since the late '90s’ with properties such as Fashion Week, the Grammy’s, Tennis, Golf, team sports Leagues, and Olympics, Diane Karle set out to build the first wine centric marketing and management agency.
